Subject: Obama finding his mojo

http://crooksandliars.com/media/play/wmv/18064/

From Forbes:

"The GOP’s constant kneejerk rejection of economic ideas simply for the sake of Saying No has as much to do with our current malaise as anything being done wrong in the White House. The newly-minted fiscal conservatives on the Republican side of the aisle, many of whom are themselves responsible for the $3 trillion and counting Iraq War, are like the old men in the Muppet Show who heckle from the balcony.

It’s naysaying for naysaying’s sake at this point and I hope voters will remember that their favorite Republican All-Stars are equally complicit in the crime that is 15 million unemployed 3 years into a recession"

Artful Dodger: He has lots of time to rebound, St Ronny didn't become popular until the assassination attempt

Artful Dodger: Historically speaking, losing ground in both the senate and congress is typical for the political party in power.They will lose seats, but two months is enough time to close the gap

The Col: Same over here in the UK.. It's usual that the party (or parties) voted in lose popularity after the election. After all.. no-one really likes politicians.. just we haven't got a better system at the moment.
